Well from looking at it, it appears that we will see new clie models released maybe in March?

Though its licensees almost certainly already have beta copies of this operating system , December 29 is the day PalmSource will stop working on Palm OS 6 and hand the final version over to the Palm SG, Sony, Samsung, etc. These companies will then be able to finish the job of customizing it for their handhelds and smart phones.

The first devices running the new operating system aren't expected until spring of 2004. After PalmSource released Palm OS 5 to the licensees in June of last year, the first handhelds using it didn't hit the market until October.

This is good and bad. It will give me time to save up to buy my next pda, wich I hope will have OS6, and this is also good because that means that my *Sj22* isn't THAT outdated yet.

But this is bad because of all the other people who REALLY want OS 6 for the multitasking...... sorry :(

I could written the piece. It seems its all assuption! I heard it would be some time before OS6 hits the market. Then this piece craps another tone. Hell with this I find out for myself. The source coming from cnetasia is just singapor right? Well I hate to tell you but their infor at times is very old! But you need a source from some where right?!

I almost got a T3 to replace my NZ90; but I came to my senses. I really want to wait to see what OS6 brings to the table... but I sure wish it was going to be tomorrow and not March or April...

Then Again I don`t think Sony will release the new Clies with 5.2 in march. They are not that totally brain dead people. wait some are :D

Man I can't wait for Palm OS 6. I hope it's as good as Palm Source in claiming (which is unlikly but possible). I just hope they add in a better way to program Tables in the OS 6 SDK (which they won't I'm sure).

I hope it's not getting rushed out to meet this deadline they set. I can just see some guy at PalmSource right now finding some major bug and the higher ups saying, "Forget about it, it will be fixed in 6.1, we only have a day left." I'd rather see a finished product than a quick product. But, if they think it's ready, then it's great news to hear.

[ClieKun]

rushed? well Since it has alot of 5 in it. I think it will be just fine.
Don`t worry Be happy! :)

Hiya!, this is not bad it seems, but when the new OS6 devices come out, I think I'll hold out for a bit and see how this multitasking thing will affect the units. I'm just lil scared how all the problems with PPC might now become with the palm units. So far there is no problems with the UX model for me and if OS6 seems to make the system unstable I guess I'll just stay in OS5 for a while longer.

well 1 day to go. we will see. that brightland articla is from munich september conference where alpha version of os6 was presented ...

[kliro]

Well according to the article its getting handed over to Sony for some butchering and suchlike :(
